DeGuira uses a variety of media including, photography, text, sculpture and works on paper to create re-envisioned family histories and dark comedies.  Fusing a strong sense of craft and conceptual approaches, his process is both haunting and fascinating presenting relics from his mental excavation.

He has had solo exhibitions at Medicine Factory (Memphis), Fredric Snitzer Gallery (Miami), Zeitgeist Gallery (Nashville), Second Floor Contemporary (Memphis), and Cheekwood Museum of Art (Nashville).  His work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions at Hunter Museum of Art (Chattanooga), Brooks Museum (Memphis), The Frist Center for the Visual Arts (Nashville), Mason Murer Fine Art (Atlanta), Steel Pond Gallery (Portland) and Honey Space (NYC).

About Plausible Artworlds 2010

Plausible Artworlds is a project to collect and share knowledge about alternative models of creative practice. From alternative economies to open source culture and other social experiments, Plausible Artworlds is a platform for research and participation with artworlds that present a distinct alternative to mainstream culture. On January 5th Basekamp will kick off a year of “Plausible Artworlds” potluck events happening every Tuesday night in 2010 from 6-8PM EST – both online over Skype as well as in-person at the Basekamp space in Philadelphia and at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga.
The discussions will be started each week by the invited guests whose collective practice exemplify “artworlds” that in some substantial way differ from a prevailing and more broadly accepted “Artworld”. Corresponding projects will be exhibited at Basekamp in support of these weekly discussions along with a publication to be compiled at the end of the year.

We invite artists, educators and community members to join us every Tuesday night – in person, or on Skype, skypename: ‘basekamp’.

“Plausible Artworlds” is a project organized by Basekamp and Stephen Wright, and has been funded by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Exhibitions Initiative.

Wind/Rewind/Weave in Knoxville

The Knoxville Museum of Art is delighted to present Wind/Rewind/Weave, a major exhibition of work by visual artist Anne Wilson. For three decades, Wilson has been regarded as an innovative and remarkable voice in the visual arts. Her work rests at the forefront of artwork connecting conceptualism and handiwork, activism and aesthetics. Through a diverse range of source materials and production methods, Wilson's practice extends the relational in terms of labor, collaboration, and identity construction.

Wind/Rewind/Weave investigates the global crisis of production and skill based textile labor through three major works: Rewinds, a new sculpture created entirely in glass; video documentation of Wind-Up: Walking the Warp, a 2008 performance in Chicago; and a large site-specific project, Local Industry, that takes the form of an active weaving/winding factory set up in the museum space.

Exhibition, Members Opening: January 21, 5:30pm

Meet the Artist for a public discussion, January 23, 3:00pm

Anne Wilson is a Chicago based visual artist who creates sculpture, drawing, video animations and installations that explore themes of time, loss, private and social rituals. She uses diverse source materials that are familiar and rich with cultural meanings.
